The Best of Erick Satie.......2007-06-11

The reason I bought this product, is because I was familiar with the 3 Gymnopedies of Erick Satie and also another of his work: The Gnosiemme (I'm not sure about the spelling) No. 4. After listening to the CD I felt very happy with it because include both versions of the Gymnopedies, the Orchestral and the one for piano and of course the Gnosiemme No. 4 which I now like it very much. The pianist makes justice to Satie's work and if you like his work is a good buy.

A forerunner to minimalism.......2007-04-13

Satie is a forerunner to minimalism. Each piece of his music is a beauty. He also had great influence on many famous composers and musicians in his age. This album is one of the best piano classical.

Wonderful.......2006-07-07

Just a great collection from Erik Satie. I would highly recommend this one!

Richard review of Best of Satie.......2005-09-02

The recording is well done. Eric Satie is not the type of music that many people will appreciate. I like his music and this particular recording.

Got Satie?.......2005-07-27

... Well folks. This may be the perfect album to get started. This features some of the best-known works by the wierd and witty Erik Satie, including the Gymnopedies (both the original piano and the orchestrated versions), the Gnossiennes, just to name a few.

The performance done by pianist Klara Kormendi is relatively plain and simple, just as Satie might have wanted. Some of his music is actually not too difficult to play... A great CD at a budget price. Kudos to Naxos for a good performance at a good price.

Also, what I'm equally impressed is the fact that in this "appreciation" album, the listener will actually be listening to many "sets" of pieces. Some of those albums (Beethoven and Mozart for example) are mere collections of selected tracks, many just one movement of a large work, such as a symphony. In some you will only be listening to selected numbers of different large "sets" of pieces. In Chopin's for example one may listen only few of the 20+ nocturnes (No. 2 for example), 15+ waltzes, and 20+ mazurkas he wrote, so one would not feel complete listening to the whole "cycles" of short pieces. Satie, fortunatley, prefered using tiny sets of pieces, most of them only comprising of three movments each. Plus each piece is short. ALL of the three Gymnopedies. ALL of the six Gnossiennes. ALL of the three Sarabandes. ALL of the three nocturnes. One can already feel happy listening to couple "sets" within a single CD.

Once again, this may be the perfect album to get started with Erik Satie. And get ALL out of those pieces!!!

Average customer rating: Picasso in sound Great but NOT complete There's only one. Don't forget Satie was an Anti-Romantic "Electric Spirit of Eric Satie" fans this is the one !

It's simple: in his various realizations of the piano music of Erik Satie, Aldo Ciccolini set a standard that has yet to be bettered. This compilation, drawn from recordings made between 1966 and 1971, is consequently the best of the best. Ciccolini always played Satie's music as though it had been written by Claude Debussy, not by some cheap charlatan or uneducated primitive (which, to an extent that is still debatable, Satie was). The result is that these seemingly simple piano pieces acquire a tonal allure that is as surprising as it is undeniable. They possess an understated sophistication that points directly toward Ravel and Poulenc, at the same time providing an opening to the minimalist aesthetic of the later 20th century. Ciccolini's playing is pliant and graceful, and under his fingers the music seems to breathe and come alive. What more could a composer or a listener want? --Ted Libbey

Picasso in sound.......2006-02-19

Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Eric Satie were drinking buddies; it shouldn't be surprising that their work, though in different media, should bear striking similarities. This CD set replaces a very badly abused vinyl recording from the 1960s. No one plays Satie like Aldo Ciccolini. I do wish the Parade had been included, Satie wrote the music, Cocteau the libretto and Picasso did the sets and costumes-Satie's only ballet. Of course, the circa 1910 audience walked out. It's the story of an out-of-work ballet company that goes out onto the streets of Paris to try to get customers to come inside. The customers are stereotypes like the American in a cowboy outfit who adds the sound of this six gun to the music and the secretary who types through the encounter. The back wall of the theater was covered with Picasso designed neon signs flashing in bright colors throughout the performance. Across the front of the stage he'd strung acetate on which were playing street scenes of Paris from three cameras-red, blue and green. The men were way, way ahead of their times.

Great but NOT complete.......2004-12-23

Please note that this collection does NOT contain Erik Satie's complete works for piano. The collection makes no such claim, but at 5 CDs, some may assume it to be complete and none of the other reviews to date mention this. I am too lazy to do the research to come up with a complete list, but offhand I know that these songs are missing - "Je Te Veux", "Fantaisie-Valse" and "Valse-Ballet". These 3 are among my favorite Satie pieces, so yes, I think the collection is diminished somewhat by their absence.

Aldo Ciccolini always has been the greatest interpreter of Satie's work for piano. Ciccolini has a feel for Satie that no one else does, although I have to admit that I prefer a faster tempo to "Poudre D'Or" than the slower, introspective tempo Ciccolini always uses, but that's only a small matter of personal preference. These recordings were originally made in 1967 and 1971 and the sound quality is excellent. At the dawn of the CD era at various sessions from 1983-1986, Ciccolini recorded Satie's complete works for piano on EMI on 5 CDs. They are currently out of print in America, with the exception of one compilation CD (also available at Amazon at the time of writing) with Gabriel Tacchino playing the 2nd piano on the pieces for 2 pianos. Ciccolini was overdubbed playing the 2nd piano on the original recordings in this review. I have a slight preference for the later recordings, but many seem to prefer these originals. You can't go wrong with these, just understand that they are not complete and the missing songs are among Satie's best.

There's only one........2004-06-26

If you're reading this, you've already heard Satie's music, so I needn't to go into that. I do want to say that this is the only recording of Satie that is worth hearing. Ciccolini is the only foot that will fit the Satie glass slipper. Don't waste your money on the ugly step-sisters.

Don't forget Satie was an Anti-Romantic.......2002-02-25

No one could deny that setting every disperse music in a unique album is a remarkable job. But I didn't like much the approach of Ciccolini, which I knew around 1975 while getting borrowed the vinyl LPs in the Embassy of France in Buenos Aires. Now I'd like to explain to whom it may concern why do I feel that way.
Satie was an anti-romantic composer, at the point of creating the "furniture-music" (musique d'ameublement) which refuses that music could be so expressive as romantics wanted. Other ones clasifies him as a "Surrealist" composer (anti-romantic movement too), but there are no signs of dreams of unconsciousness through his work. Since that point of view you could play Satie's music anyway but expressively. Satie wasn't Debussy, besides the fact that they knew personally and admire each other. Could you play Debussy in a plain style without damage?. I don't think so, because Satie was farther of expressive tradition than Debussy: we can say that Debussy is a spirit of the XIX Century while Satie is a precursor of the XXth. Remember his own words: "I came to the world too young in a time too old".
The best performance I heard of the piano work of our composer was in charge of Jacques Fevrier on the excelent album called "Monsieur Erik Satie", with such a "sideman" as another member of the group of six as Georges Auric for the 4 hands pieces.
I wave goodbye with a great embrace to all Satie's fans.

"Electric Spirit of Eric Satie" fans this is the one !.......2001-08-17

Fans of "The Electronic Spirit of Eric Satie" will immediately recognize Aldo Ciccolini as one of the few musicians in touch with the true "Satie" style. The selections correspond to "Electric Spirit" ; except, performed as a good piano solo. The piano recording is done so well it's better than most orchestral versions. It sounds very much like "Electric Spirit" without orchestration nor electronic "boops" and "beeps"-- just a good piano. It's really just as funny and powerful; and here it has a class act. This performance is a rare find !

Pianist Aldo Ciccolini garnered lots of attention in the late 1960s and early 1970s when he recorded all of Erik Satie's original piano music for EMI. The cycle remains first choice for Satie fans, who certainly will welcome its first complete (as opposed to excerpted) reissue on CD. Ciccolini's interpretations are paradigms of expressive economy and directness, and happily eschew the "let's see how slow and important I can make these works" attitude that sometimes prevails among younger Satie practitioners. Ciccolini's diamond-edged sonority, sparkling technique, and willingness to accept the composer's high quirk quotient at face value further enhance these performances. While Ciccolini admirably overdubs himself in the piano duet works, one misses the added color and ensemble give and take gained from Ciccolini's digital remakes partnered by Gabriel Tacchino. For the price, though, Satie fans can hardly go wrong. Don't let EMI's French-only annotations prevent you from acquiring this classic cycle. Get it while you can. --Jed Distler

The Simple, the Sublime, and the Surreal.......2007-03-27

This collection makes for good listening. There is a great deal of variety and character (Oh, is there character!) to be found in the various pieces. While most people have likely heard one or more of Satie's Gymnopedies at the very least in the background music of a TV ad, this collection pulls together the rarely-heard piano pieces as well. One that I had been seeking, Vexations, is a short piece to be repeated 840 times.

The titles of the pieces bear witness to Satie's sense of humor, rebellion against conventions of the day, and his pleasure in the surreal. Translations help to enjoy the unusual titles (who could not love "Piece in the Form of a Pear"?), some of which are reminiscent of Magritte's monikers.

Aldo Ciccolini's performances are clear, with definite respect for the composer's works. There was a noticeable distinction between the tempi of the works that come "in threes", such as the Gymnopedies.

I found that this collection fit nicely on my iPod, allowing me to take it on the road and enjoy it wherever the mood struck me. In some cases, the juxtaposition of Satie's music with my whereabouts provided yet another dimension of surreal-ity that had to be savored. The fact that most of these piano pieces are brief lends them to shuffling with other styles.

While this collection is not for the casual listener to classical music, it does allow you to come into closer contact with one of the more unconventional minds of classical music. If you are serious about late 19th- or early 20th-century music, especially French music, or the influence of popular music on serious music, then this is not only for you, but a bargain as well.

Great complete set.......2004-11-21

This is the definitive Satie collection for piano. Well-recorded and well played. I am a fan of French Impressionism in all of its incarnations and appreciated getting a full set of Satie under one cover. However, not all of these interpretations are my favorites. The best Gnossienne, IMHO, is that of Reinbert de Leeuw. He takes it slow and draws everything out of that piece. Ciccolini's interpretation is rushed and not as melodic. However, the Ciccolini tempo works well on other pieces, such as the other Satie favorite, Gymnopédies.

All in all, this collection is well worth having for any Satie fan.

the BEST.......2003-04-21

Satie is a weirdo. Often overlooked by serious classical enthusiasts for a variety of reasons, he was an eccentric person and a very original composer. His quirky, playful temperament gave his pieces the intrigue they still hold today.

Aldo Ciccolini is the perfect pianist for these pieces. He seems to be the quintessential Satie interpreter. His playing is dazzling, crisp, and delightful. Aldo has a real knack for these sorts of french artists, and really seems to understand their style.

Unlike many other pianists, he does not try to over-romanticize these works. He plays them appropriately - briskly, and brimming with energy. Even on such lulling pieces as the Gnossienes and Gymnopedies he plays with an essential awareness. His confidence is winning, and his understanding of the pieces makes them shine and scintillate. And at such a generous price, how can you go wrong? This is well worth it.

MUSIC WITHOUT SAUERKRAUT.......2005-05-28

I feel that it's worth calling attention to this disc for the sake of the part of it (roughly two-thirds) that I actually know. The selection that Peter Lawson performs is still available here and there to determined collectors on a disc of its own, but a reissue is more than welcome, particularly with this set filled out to reasonable length for a cd.

Peter Lawson is now 55. He originally recorded these pieces in London's Wigmore Hall in 1979, the recording engineer being the formidable Mr Bear. For reasons of health as well as personal temperament Peter has not elected to follow the international virtuoso circuit, which he would have graced in a major way had he so chosen. He is an enthusiastic proponent of certain modern composers, many of whom make greater calls than does Satie on the virtuoso technique that he possesses in abundance, but if you like Satie I can only suppose that you will enjoy this recital greatly. Satie was a bit of a sad figure, hopelessly inept at any kind of interpersonal relations, and comporting himself in a ridiculous way when he could not hide from human contact entirely. This side of him shows through in a number of the titles he gives to the pieces here that are simply buffoonery. Others of these titles, it seems to me, can be taken quite seriously - the trois gymnopedies are slow and grave in expression, not unlike Debussy's Danseuses de Delphes in some ways. With others again I simply don't know. `Medusa' in Greek just means `princess', for instance. It doesn't have to refer to the sorceress who turned beholders to stone, but I don't suppose Satie knew that. That is who he is likely referring to, but what possible relationship the name has to the music I have no idea - probably indeed none.

Give or take the titles of the pieces, there is no buffoonery in the music itself. Some of it has a light and ironic feel (not uncommon in French music of any era), but it does not aim to be `witty' or `amusing' music in the later manner of Poulenc or Francaix, and for that relief much thanks say I. These pieces are polished and thoroughly artistic miniatures that grace the art of music and do not diminish it. The harmonic idiom is basically tonal, though with some suggestions of Debussy at times. What it is above all is unmistakably French music. The composer remarked to Debussy that they needed to have their own music `without Sauerkraut'. What Peter Lawson conveys with particular beauty and sensitivity is its delicate Frenchness, less robust and much more fragile than the music of Faure, Debussy or Ravel.

It would of course be a great weight on my conscience if the other contributions to the disc were seriously unsatisfactory, or if the recorded quality had plummeted for some strange reason. These possibilities seem to me remote to vanishing, and I remain confident that I'm showing more public-spiritedness than if I held my tongue about the part of this record that I am familiar with. Peter Lawson's work is not entirely unknown to the musical public, and in particular there is a notable disc from him of modern American piano sonatas as well as some more out-of-the-way material. Admirers of Satie, and any who are simply curious about him, can surely be recommended this disc with absolute confidence.

Nana's versatility at it's very best.......2003-08-13

Another well chosen selection of songs from Nana, demonstrating her purity of voice and versatility. It includes the Bob Dylan composed Le Ciel est Noir, a dramatic song but even more so when Nana sings it live, it ranks as one of the all time great live on stage performances.

A Great Introduction to Satie.......2002-08-26

It takes a very fine sense of balance to play Satie correctly, to avoid ruining the score by being either overly sonorous or overly energetic. Aldo Ciccolini cuts just the right line, picking a well-balanced middle ground.

Aside from delivering one of the better performances of 'Trois Gymnopedies', Ciccolini offers both an invigorating version of 'Jack in the Box', as well as a suitably loopy rendition of 'Le Balle Excentrique'. All in all, a great introduction to Satie, and one that may be enough for most.

The placid calm.......2001-01-10

I found this recording particularily soothing and mild. The processing is a little harsh and the programming is rough. However, Ciccolini seems to seep Satie from his fingers with such comfort and ease. It's excellent thinking music.

Minimalist to a fault--but the watercolors are vivid.

Erik Satie/Seraphim Classics.......2000-09-26

This is an analogue recording, the recording date is not given. The sound quality is excellant and some of the pieces are performed well; however, his perforfance of the Gymnopedies on EMI catalogue #67282 is superior.

Excellent CD.......2006-05-10

I first heard Larusso in the Philippines where the song "On Ne S'Aimera Plus Jamais" was getting quite a bit of play. After a fair amount of searching, I was able to purchase the CD which --except for a couple songs -- is good throughout. Unfortunantly, Larusso is non-existent in the US market, which is a shame. Lucky there is Amazon. :-)

Great Rack music.......2004-01-19

Heard Larusso on a compilation and decided to buy the entire CD. Very catchy songs for the most part (prefer "il suffira" and "bouge de ma vie" for the rhythms).

Guys, a great one to play for the girls. Learn the lyrics and impress the hell out of them by pretending you know French!!

Larusso.......2003-03-27

Brilliant group, heard their music first in France and Belgium, love it, never underestimate French music, fantastic, great beat all songs, one of my favourite groups in the world, it really should be heard in the U.S. really recommend it.

I've gotten hooked..........2001-10-12

I really never heard of Larusso before, but on my trip to the Phillippines, the first time I heard "On Me S'aimera Plus Jamai", I was hooked! Another catchty tune is "Tu M'oublieras". Heck I can't even speak French, but I can't resist the rythmic beats! I just keep coming back for more!

... Try finding Larusso in the U.S. it's going to be a tough one. I thought it was going to be a easy find here in the states, but since it's an import and her debut was in '99, it's pretty hard to obtain. But trust me, once you listen to her, you won't regret it! Buy it today!

One of the few best!.......2001-01-10

C'est tres simple..J'adore sa musique! I first heard her on MTV in 1999 and ordered her track immediately from a freind in Paris. Whoever writes her music must be a very sensational musician with an outstanding sense of dance and melody. Her voice is extremely sweet to hear ... a great performer, great CD and great music.
